View of the day-Kim unloads from his combine into the General.Up early again for coffee, then Al put Marilyn right to work servicing and moving things around...no chance to even shake the cobwebs out.
We moved over to some standing barley so that meant a switch of the headers...back to straight cutting again. We were combining along side Kim and his CaseIH 2388. He covered more acres with his 36 ft draper head, but his hopper was smaller, so synchronizing the unloading was a bit difficult. Al was hauling with the General and shuttling with the grain cart when he had time and Kim's dad, Bob was hauling with their smaller grain truck.
We combined all day and well after dark...no waiting on trucks...the boys kept the combines rolling and with the exception of two short stops for repairs...Kim on his header PTO shaft and Marilyn with a broken knife section there was hardly time for...you know...stuff. Kim's new grain trailer was delivered after supper, which gave Bob a chance to book off for the night.
Marg and Gordie brought supper out to the field and we had a short break for that burgerfest, but it was back in the combines to try and finish the field. It would be such a shame to leave 10 acres for the morning.
But getting it done doesn't mean we get to sleep in...
